Cabura(62 words)
[German version]
(Κάβουρα, Ptol. 6,18,5, erroneously there also Károura), also called Ortospana; probably what is now Kabul on the Cophen (Sanskrit Kubhā). In the Alexander histories, C. is never mentioned; following the Bematistai however it is cited by Plin. HN 6,61 as Ortospanum.
